| Walsh subscribed $50 to the defense
fund in behalf of Dillon, O'Brien, Red
cuted by the crown on charge of con-

| from of numerous members of the
archbishop diocese, solely because of
their religion.

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE North Ger
man Gazette says: The liberal press
| continues to circulate ufbi ct orbi the
falsehoOd that Europe lives in condi-
ton of the most profound peace, and
that On the contrary only the maneuvers
are to mtimidate poor electors, and in
fiuence them in favor of the septennate
bill. In support of this assertion refer
ence is made to the declaration of Cen
eral Won Schellendorf, when he intro
duced the army bill in the reichstag.
The political horizon was totally differ
ent then. 1t has since become
| clouded, solely in consequence of
the attitude of the opposition, whose
unpatriotic. conduct causes the convic-
ton i'll France that Germany is weak
ened by internal divisions and that
the moment to attack Germany has ar
| rived. General Van Schellendorf'S
words when uttered were appropriate
to the situation, but he would scarcely
repeat them to-day, the opposition
having conjured up the danger of war
which will only disappear when France
sees Germany does not allow unpatri-
| otto politicians to lead; that is, when
majority is returned to the reichstag
determined to protect the empire
against its enemies.
AT THE ANXIOUS SEAT.
VIENNA, Feb. IS.-A semi-official
! letter from st. Petersburg represents
Russia as waiting for French and
German conflict, which she considers
! inevitable, to realize her own Balkan
projects. While making no compact
| with France, Russia would consider it
to be to her own interest to allow Ger
| many to be victorious in struggle be-
tween these countries. 1t is supposed
this intention on the part of Russia
explains the delay in the negotiations
| of the Bulgarian question now being
carried on at Constantinople.
MUST HAVE MAJORITY.
BERLIN, Feb. 1S-The North Ger
man Gazette, Prince Bismarck's organ,
says: The reichstag will be again dis

WAITING AN OPPORTUNIgY.
|. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1S.-It is
semi-officially stated in Russian govern
| ment circles that the conviction is gain
| ing ground that war between France
and Germany is inevitable. The addi
ton, 1t said, OF fresh defeat OF France
might involve a disastrous result to
Russia. The Cars government will
inthe event of war preserve entire lib
erty of action. 1t will not support
France as an ally, but may by firm,
reserved attitude prevent Germany
from sending the whole of her army
west of the Rhine, and even if France
should be defeated will ALLEVIATE as far
as possible the effects of the disaster.
| For these reasons it is declared Russia
will await the outcome of the different
phases of the Bulgarian crisis with the
| greatest calmness, and act in such way
| as to avoid being involved with Austria
or England at the moment when
France and Germany commence hos
| tilities.

proceedings, so as not to appear in any
French or English papers.
